1. Help!!!!!
Hi guys!!!
Can someone tell me what the hell i have to do to transform
a large number ( 2000000000000 ) in to a string?I use the
sprintf() function but the string it returns is in the 'e'
format! ( something like "2.0e7" )
thanks.
( is the 1st time that i participate in the mailing list and i
hope that there'll be fun ;)
Hi Daniel Bernstein!!! I'm using your Menu_eng.e and it's great!

Hi Raul, I just tried with
puts(1,sprintf("%d",2000000000000))
and got the right output.
Read the manual to understand what the diferent %x do. Tell me
if you need help.

My lastname is Berstein (without the N) actually... I'm glad you like
(and use) menu_eng. It was my first contribution (1 years ago? maybe more=
).
I don't plan to enhance it, mainly because David has provided us with
he's excelent text GUI. If you (or anyone else) need help you can
contact me at danielberstein at usa.net or daber at pair.com.

Grande el Chino! Lastima que este lesionado y no pueda ir a defender
el titulo en Montecarlo, y de paso perder el N=BA1 :( ... por el momento.
Disculpa que te haya contestado en ingles, pero como no se tu email tuve
que contestar en el listserver... y aqui no es "elegante" escribir en
idiomas
que solo unos pocos (de los participantes) pueden enteder.
Mexicano no? Si ese es el caso, lastima por el rendimiento de la
seleccion (Catolica les dio 5-1! y otros tantos de Boca), ojala mejore an=

Provided sprintf("%f", 2000000000000) doesn't work either, you'll have to
code a solution.
I have a whole set of routines that do things like this, called basebag.e,
but I haven't got them on this server yet (aargh!).
They're of the form (off the top of my head):
function seq2atom(sequence seq, numbase base)
-- convert the "seq" string of a number in base "base", into a real
-- floating point atom.
end function
function atom2seq(atom number, numbase base)
-- convert "number" into a string representation of itself in base
-- "base" with floating point handling.
end function
function baseconv(sequence seq, numbase from, numbase to_)
return atom2seq(seq2atom(seq, from), to_)
end function
So, baseconv("3.14159265359", 10, 16) returns something like "3.243F6A88"
and baseconv("3.14159265359", 10, 2) returns:
"11.00100100001111110110101010001000001" (!!!)
I'll put basebag.e on my site sometime around the end of this week...

Of course, %f will give results in scientific notation.
Why not just use %d ?
Yes, I tried it, it works.

Yeah, I know, sorry. I guess I just assumed that Ra=FAl had already tried
%d. :(
Anyways, basebag should be on my site Friday. I'll post to the mailing
list again if it is. I wouldn't want anybody looking for something that
isn't on my site.
Basebag goes one better than sprintf, by being able to cope with any base
you throw at it [2 <=3D base <=3D 36 that is :) ]
IIRC, sprintf can only do decimal and "hex" [or can it do octal too?=20
No docs where I am :( ]

PS For those who can't read iso8859-1, the =FA character is a "u'"
combination i.e. an accented "u".
